metapackage bumps made easier

So, the other day tsunam prodded me to whip up a script to make it easier for him to version bump beryl. The result? A semi-decent version bumping script in bash. You can grab it at svn://compnerd.org/compnerd/scripts/trunk/bump-pkg . Its a fairly simple script, that hopefully will be somewhat useful.

Theres a few things which have yet to be done, one of which will be automatically changing the KEYWORDS to ~arch if it is not so. Ideas to improve it (as well as patches!) welcome.

Using it is fairly straight forward. bump-pkg <pkg> <old version> <new version>. You can specify the commit message to be used as well, but that is an optional parameter. It does however depend on gentoolkit-dev for the echangelog, which, if really desired, I could change into bash as well.
